Please note that our clinic is doing things differently to help contain the spread of COVID-19 and keep our patients safe. Until further notice:
We are no longer booking new appointments for routine or non-urgent visits
This includes visits for routine screening, prescription renewals, test follow-up, or sick notes.
• Prescription renewals: If you need a prescription renewal, please ask your pharmacist to extend your current prescription. If this is not possible, ask them to send our office a request by fax.
• Sick notes: Note that the government has introduced legislation that means employers cannot ask for a doctor’s note if you have missed work because of the coronavirus (this is backdated to January 25, 2020).

We are offering care virtually
Our clinic is starting to offer virtual care to make sure that we can continue to care for our patients safely and effectively. This means that we will be using video and audio technologies for patient visits rather than asking patients to come into our office.
If you have an existing appointment, our office may contact you to arrange for a virtual visit (by telephone or video) instead of in-person. If you call to book a new appointment, our office will arrange for a virtual visit.

Patients who need to be seen in person must contact the clinic before entering. Our waiting room will be closed.

If you must be seen in person, please contact us before coming into the clinic. When you arrive, please wait in your car or outside. We will reach you on your cell phone when we are ready to see you. If this is not possible, you may enter the clinic.
